Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 14,520. Arkwright, W. July 14. Circular knitting-machines.-Certain latch-needles 9<b>, Fig. 8, in a two or mulitple feeder machine are caused to clear their loops in advance of the clearing- cam, and at the same time engage a thread 63 of a different colour from the neighbouring loops 9<a>, by means of a designer consisting essentially of a number of selector blades, slid to and fro in the tricks of a drum 1, Fig. 3, or the links of a patternchain. The drum is geared to the needles and carries blades 2 with spade-like ends 7, which, in the protruded position, elevate certain needles. The blades have butts 12,14 operated by a projecting- cam 13 and a replacing cam 15. The former is on a slide 17, Fig. 2, positively reciprocated by a cam 19. on the axle of a ratchet-wheel 23. A slotted angular piece 22 is held against the righthand side of the cam 19 by the abutting end 35 of a lever 36. To disconnect the cam 19 and slide 17, the lever can be swung round at right-angles, and then holds the bell-crank driving the ratchet 23 out of action. The modified form shown in Fig. 7 rotates on a vertical axis, and is gear-driven. The selectors may be integral with the needle-jacks. The projecting-cam 55 is moved through varying vertical distances to lift certain selectors 45 through a gap in a broken helical cam 57, so that the edge of the latter catches the groove 58 of a selector. The latter then rides round the cam 57, lifts the butt 8 of one of the needle-jacks, and is finally depressed at 61 into the normal position.

Patent GB-190603981-A (GB)
Title: Single Trigger Mechanism for Guns.
Inventor: OSTERHOUT GARRET BECKER
Filed: 1906-02-17
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 3981. Osterhout, G. B. Feb. 17. Single-trigger double-barrelled guns.-The righthand sear 9 is lifted by means of a plate 13, which is pivoted at 14 to a fixed post 12, and the left-hand sear 8 by means of a plate 15 pivoted at 16 to the plate 13, the sears engaging in slots in the plates. Fig. 2 shows the parts with the hammers down, and Fig. 4 with the hammers cocked, and Fig. 10 is a view of the parts with the left-hand sear-lifting plate 15 removed. The right-hand sear-lifting plate 13 is lifted; when the trigger is pulled, by the shoulder 26 of the trigger acting upon a plate 20, Fig. 10, pivoted on the inner side of the plate 13. Lifting of the other searlifting plate 15 is prevented by the shoulder 35 of the safety, which is shown in the most forward of its three positions. The hammer is so shaped as to cause the tail of the right-hand sear 9 to be depressed, as shown in Fig. 2, when the hammer has fallen, and to turn the plate 13 about its pivot 14 from the position of Fig. 4 to that of Fig. 2, and thus to carry rearward the left searlifting plate 15 until an inwardly - projecting shoulder 18, Fig. 2, of the plate 15 comes into contact with a shoulder 37 on the trigger which is forced downward by the plate 20, when the pull on the trigger is released by the recoil of the gun, until the recess 27 of the trigger is below the shoulder 18 before the shoulder 18 comes into contact with the trigger. The plate 20 is thus shifted back out of contact with the trigger, and neither sear-lifting plate is in connexion with the trigger. The involuntary pull lifts the trigger and allows the shoulder 18 of the left-hand sear-lifting plate 15 to be carried rearwardly into contact with the shoulder 39 near the open end of the recess 27, upward movement of the plate 15 being still prevented by the shoulder 35 of the safety. When the involuntary pull is over, the trigger drops and the shoulder 18 is free to pass into the recess 27 and thus connect the left-hand sear-lifting plate 15 with the trigger, this final rearward movement of the plate 15 carrying it clear of the shoulder 35 of the safety. In the middle position of the safety, both sear-lifting plates are blocked. The left-hand barrel can be fired first by shifting the safety slide to its most reirward position, so that the righthand sear lifting plate is blocked, but the shoulder 35 of the safety is over a recess 36 of the left-hand sear-lifting plate 15, which is thus free to be lifted, the point 34 of the safety having pushed back the pitte 20 out of contact with the trigger and disconnected the plate 13.
